Societe Generale upgraded Credit Suisse Group CS from Hold to Buy.
Societe Generale noted, "We see upside in Credit Suisse due to three reasons: (i) equities trading and M&A and ECM revenues in the US are likely to improve as political uncertainty declines (=CHF2.6 per share), (ii) with a six-month delay this should improve revenue margins in Wealth Management from 109bp to 118bp (= + CHF2.1 per share), (iii) a weakening CHF versus the USD would add CHF3.5bn to capital (=+CHF1.9 per share) and (iv) the subsequent lower leverage for the group reduces the cost of equity from 12.3% to 11.3% (= + CHF3.9 per share)."
Credit Suisse Group closed at $28.35 on Wednesday.
